I started these indoors in February under lights. Planted them out the beginning of April. We had a few very cold nights, I was worried I might lose them, but they were fine. Several grew to softball size. Most were apple size, perfect for us. I ended up with roughly 1# of onion per foot of row. I harvested these a couple months ago, and now they're beginning to get just a little soft. We've mostly used these saut?ed, they're very mild. I shared most of these amongst family and everyone really likes them.

I love these onions! Grew very well in North Idaho! Even won Blue ribbons with them at 2 different fairs! Using them for all my canning a cooking! They grew very large just like you said! Started them In the house in February. Transplanted in April with composted soil. They grew AMAZING!

These onions are labeled as “long day” onions and not recommended for the south (below the 38th parallel). Well let’s say I have a propensity for challenging the norm so I wanted to see what they could do in North Carolina (35th). I germinated these in early September to over-winter. I hit them a few times in the fall with some fish fertilizer (high nitrogen). Upon transplanting the young onions in mid-March, they were already thicker than a pencil and noticeably larger than the other onions planted in tandem. I fortified the soil with a mixture of Jobe’s Veg. & Tomato fertilizer (2-5-3) along with bone meal. I hit them again with the fish fertilizer every 2 weeks or so until late May when they began to bulb. Three of them did bolt so I am not sure if I germinated too soon. Of my half-dozen experimental plants I landed some as large as 5” in diameter, probably weighing 2 or more pounds (pulled the first one June 21).
Overall, I am impressed and will grow again next year.

my 1st try growing from seed. Had a terrible time getting these started, out of 300 seeds maybe 50 have survived. once they got established they have handled excessive heat well (110 ) and some of them are as big as softballs. That being said I started them in Feb and it's the middle of July so much for early maturity. I'll try a different variety this fall.
